⚖️ Medical Touting: Know the Risks. Protect Your Rights.

🚫 Not every referral is made in a patient’s best interest.

🏥 Touting in healthcare is more than an ethical concern—it can undermine patient trust, professional integrity, and public confidence in healthcare services.

🩺 Patients deserve healthcare decisions that are based on medical needs, not commissions, incentives, or referral arrangements.

⚠️ Such practices may create conflicts of interest and influence decisions that should always prioritise patient welfare.

🛡️ Stay vigilant. Seek information from reliable sources and choose healthcare services based on what is best for your health, not on incentives or referral rewards.

Happy Aidil Adha 1447 Hijrah.

Can a "Secret Record" save you in court... or land you in jail?

Whether it’s a heated meeting or a private conversation, the temptation to hit 'record' is real. But in Malaysia, "Admissible" doesn't always mean "Legal."

●Is your hidden recording actually valid evidence under Section 90A of the Evidence Act?

● Could you be facing a CMA 1998 charge or a Defamation suit just for trying to protect yourself?

●Where is the line between "Gathering Evidence" and "Invasion of Privacy"?

The UM Legal Centre breaks down the law, the risks, and the ethics of covert recording. Don't press 'record' until you’ve read this. 👇

We are thrilled to share highlights from our recent benchmarking visit to the Clinical Risks Management & Patient Relations Department at the National University Hospital (NUHS), Singapore.

​At the heart of every great healthcare institution is a commitment to patient safety and world-class service. Our team spent an intensive day diving deep into the innovative systems NUHS uses to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and compassionate patient care.

​Key Takeaways:

1. ​Proactive Risk Mitigation: Learning how NUHS utilizes data-driven insights to stay ahead of clinical risks.

2. ​The Art of Patient Relations: Observing their "patient-first" philosophy in resolving complex feedback with empathy and efficiency.

3. ​Safety Culture: Seeing firsthand how a culture of transparency and continuous improvement leads to better clinical outcomes.

​A huge thank you to the team at NUHS for the warm welcome and sharing their best practices.
